Am sure I'm gonna be beat down on this one, but being a parent, I PERSONALLY believe it's iresponsible to refuse to use a leash that could conceivably save another person or a child from being disabled or killed by <b>especially</b> a rocketing, knife edged race board. To make the decision to ignore that <i>"what if"</i> possibility just sets a BAD example to younger up and coming carvers. Snowboarding does NOT need another black eye, especially by us suposedly, "more mature" riders. <br>It would SUCK to hear ski areas ban us all together. We all know that's not going to happen, but again, it's the <i> "what if" </i> mindset.<p><p>Granted, world cup racers are not required to wear leashes, as that is a controlled race course and a loose board just doesn't happen, but the rest of us recreational carvers should be responsible, as there are innocent bystanders all around us on the mountain and we are responsible for controlling the potentially lethal projectiles under our feet.<p> A good friend who is now a chief of police taught me that <i>"Always expect the unexpected"</i> awareness and it has literally saved my life more than once while driving.

James, my cheap CL lift ticket deal fell through. Not going until I can get a replacement..... grumble.

This old f***** may wind up making an appearance Sunday on a "new" 173 Burton FP sporting Christmas binders courtesy of MonoDude and Brian S. <br>(Those crazy, cool guys!)<P><P>Anyone want to car pool? Chef? PC? <br> My first outing since my August heart attack and ensuing angioplasty. (urk) So, I may have my training wheels on.....

Found a pair of Burton step ins (non-Intech with cant wedge) on Ebay: ID 321082917249<p>or: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321082917249?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D321082917249%26_rdc%3D1

I'm thinking more of a good old fashioned Canadian pimp slap would have been appropriate!

Aw man....that is soooooo flippin' cool. Maybe a budding Chris Klug or Mark Fawcett.

...Had that been ME, the local PD would have been called for all of the inappropriate replies I would have HAD to come back with. Can't help it. Once a radio jock, always a radio jock. (evil grin)

Oh Hay-yell yes!

LCI....anyone got a buddy lift ticket you would like to part with fairly cheap? Loveland is calling my name for Christmas Day, but funds are low after the associated gifting procedures. Got's dis carving monkey on mah back ya' see.... -Charles

Ah, that kid doesn't look so tough ...bet I could beat her....might have to double up on my meds though....

I'm 57 AND a heart attack survivor. Lol

Don,....HOLY S**T!!! 6 feet? I've all but forgotten what riding pow is like. As far as tomorrow, BM, James...I'm going to have to wait as one of my kids is sick and the wife has to work. Link some turns for me. -Charles

Anyone heading up to Loveland Sunday that wants to car pool and save some gas $? -Charles ( deversnowcarver@gmail.com) Meet up @ Morrison PNR?

Am looking for a pair of Burton plates. Prefer race plates, but whatchya got? -Charles denversnowcarver@gmail.com

I just scored a well seasoned 173 Factory Prime for a great price. Now just have to find some 3D binders and see if my recent cardiac incident lets me ride.

Wow... I just read this at the end of my work shift. It really hits home because I myself, had a fatal heart attack due to stress on August 1st, 2012 and had the presence of mind to get myself to the hospital (3 blocks away) as a precautionary measure because I had a feeling it could be "the big one". That's what saved me. I was in triage when it happened. I just passed out. No light headedness, no heart pain..nothing traumatic.. just blackness and peace..very weird. Was not what I expected death to be like. After CPR and defib, they raced me upstairs to the cath lab for an angioplasty/stent. I was damn lucky. Wish Tom had been in the same position. he'd probably still be here. Tom had a huge influence on my short semi pro skating career in the 70s as well as Stacy Peralta. I wish I had saved some of the Sims boards I've sold over the years on BOL/Ebay/CL. -Charles in Denver

Okay!...FINALLY on the last day of the LCI 2012 season, I get to make it up. It's been 2 fargin' years since I've ridden. I'll be the short, aging old fart that's <blink>"ripping"</blink> at recreational speeds on the obnoxious neon yellow board. Anyone else I may know who plans to attend the last hurrah? -Charles

**looooong sigh**....... It's been over 2 friggin' years since I've made any turns. This is killin' me. I miss Chef Mario's parking lot cooking. -Charles

(Okay...didn't notice I misspelled "interesting" before hitting the GO button.) Not a carving stick by any means, but thought I'd offer it to anyone interested. Not being a fan of the 420 persuasion, I'd never ride her. I haven't been on a non carving board that short in at least 15 years. So, she's up for grabs. 153cm 420 brand twin tip wth Nitro bindings. I currently have her on CL for $60, but $40 for BOL??? Great shape, just needs a minor tune/wax to be rideable. The top sheet discoloring is from the hideous stickers I removed. Local Denver pick up only. -Charles 720-three oh nine 6612

Never fails....I don't drop by here for a few months and there are the boots I've been looking for! Now I don't need 'em! Oy Vey! I have baby feetsuses too and have a hard time finding these in sz 7. Maybe I should get them anyway for when my Reactors do finally explode...?

Yes,..I know Bombers when I see 'em. And those are definitely NOT Bombers,...look like Wombats? What I was pointing out was what LOOKS LIKE a pair of Bomber disks (for parts) in the pic. Sorry, no smiley for sighing and rolling eyes......

Found on Denver CL: http://denver.craigslist.org/spo/2198679890.html Looks like a couple of Bomber discs thrown in too. Better grab 'em before I change my mind....

Dave may still have the Rossi kids' board he adopted from me some time ago. -Charles
